Every world is full of ghosts and monsters begging for hugs

Bai Yao held Pei Yan's face, her black eyes staring at his clear eyes. She smiled and asked casually: "Do you want the rain to stop?"

Pei Yan did not answer. He lowered his eyes slightly and avoided Bai Yao's sight.

He has always been energetic and he wishes he could occupy all of Bai Yao's attention, especially when she is looking at him. What he likes most is that her eyes are filled with his presence.

But now, he didn't have the courage to look her in the eye.

She suddenly said, "It doesn't matter if the rain doesn't stop."

Pei Yan's eyelashes trembled slightly and he looked at her blankly.

Bai Yao's eyebrows curved and the corners of her lips raised, "If the rain keeps falling, the two of us will have to stay here and live a life without being disturbed by anyone."

Pei Yan's clean and handsome face showed a change of expression, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly. He wanted to speak several times, but didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Bai Yao quickly resolved the silent atmosphere and said, "I want to drink hot milk."

"I'll get it!" Pei Yan got off the sofa, paused for a moment, turned around and hugged her, wrapping her in the blanket, "Yaoyao, wait for me to come back."

Bai Yao nodded.

Pei Yan trotted to the kitchen, his hurried movements hinting at a sense of escape.

Bai Yao leaned on the sofa and listened to the sound of rain. Not long after, she heard heavy footsteps again. She raised her head and greeted, "Good evening, Mr. Yan."

The person who came was Yan Su. He had gray hair. Although he was still strong among his elderly people, his gray hair and wrinkles on his face told everyone that time does not favor anyone.

Yan Su sat on the sofa opposite him and sighed: "It's really lively today."

Bai Yao asked: "When you came here, did you ever think that you would encounter such heavy rain?"

Yan Su did not answer but asked: "What are you going to do if the rain keeps on falling?"

"My husband is here. I'm not in a hurry to go out. I can report to my parents that I'm safe with him after a while when we get a signal."

His serious eyes flickered, "I now feel that the rain will stop soon."

Bai Yao: "Why?"

Yan Su laughed: "Maybe it's because he has a family."

The story about the old man and the Moonlight Hotel has to start from sixty years ago.

At that time, he was just an intern who had just joined the company, and the first case he took on with his master was a student’s disappearance case.

There was no surveillance in that era, so the case was indeed very difficult to handle, and they had to visit many places frequently.

The missing boy's family is not wealthy, but he has many brothers and sisters. His parents are the typical ones who only care about giving birth to him but not raising him. They are only concerned about making enough food to eat every day, and they never care about letting their children study.

It was not until he was ten years old that he had the opportunity to go to school.

This was only because the relevant departments noticed their family situation, visited their home many times, and promised to reduce a lot of fees, which convinced his parents to let him enter the school.

Even after entering school, he was hungry, cold and out of tune with the surrounding environment. His classmates called him a little beggar, disliked him for being dirty and never played with him.

I don't know which day it was, but he picked up a kitten and secretly hid it in his schoolbag to raise it. Even though he was not full, he still saved half of the lunch given by the school to raise the cat. What kind of person is this if not a fool?

He was such an invisible person that after he disappeared, the police questioned all his classmates but did not get any useful clues.

But among children who do bad things, there are always some who are exposed because of cowardice.

The young policeman, who had just started working and was full of enthusiasm, vowed to investigate the truth. He repeatedly asked his master to bring these children to the police station for investigation. The master looked at him and said, "You are just doing useless work."

He didn't understand this sentence, but with his insistence, the master finally applied for the permission to interrogate the six children.

The six children, aged twelve or thirteen, only said that they had invited the boy to go out and play, but the boy soon went back first and they had no idea where he had gone.

Obviously, they had made confessions, but they were minors and their parents were well-known figures in society. They quickly put pressure on their parents with lawyers and had the children taken away. Not long after, all six children transferred to other schools.

As for the missing child, his parents received a sum of money and no one cared about his whereabouts anymore.

And this only further indicated that something had happened to the missing child.

Thinking of the past, the old man, now with a white beard, laughed self-deprecatingly, "It took me a long time to understand the meaning of what Master said back then."

Even though they all knew that the children's disappearance was related to these six students, they could not take any strong measures against these six children. Even if they were police officers, it would be of no use.

In the end, things will come to no end, just like many other cases, which end up in nothing.

"I came to this hotel sixty years ago." The old man looked at Bai Yao and said slowly: "I took the stolen hotel drawings and searched here for a long, long time..."

Being young and hot-headed, he was unwilling to see the victim die in silence, nor was he willing to see the real murderer get away with it without paying any price, so he did many things that violated the rules.

Yan Su said: "I saw a child holding a cat in the cold storage. I shamelessly promised him that I would bring those who hurt him to justice, but I broke my promise."

Bai Yao replied calmly: "It's not your fault."

No one knew what Yan Su talked about when Bai Yao presented strawberries to Yan Su, but from that day on, Bai Yao's attitude towards the hotel employees changed.

At the time, Yan Su just mentioned: "Sixty years ago, when I came to the hotel, I saw only one child. But twenty-five years later, when I came to the hotel for the second time, there were four more people here. They stood together, like a family."

There were several figures standing in the kitchen, making it quite lively.

Chef Zhou chopped the chopping board non-stop. He was very strong and did not feel tired after working for such a long time. He kept muttering: "Let's plant more tomatoes in the vegetable garden. I think Yaoyao likes them very much."

Aunt Wu was mopping the floor. She raised her head and reminded Mu Ande, who was standing by the window, to wear more clothes so as not to catch a cold. She then replied to Chef Zhou: "I think it's okay. I can also raise a few chickens to lay eggs."

Mu An leaned against the glass window and stared at the pouring rain. "It's raining so heavily. It would be better if it rained a little heavier, right, Mu Ping?"

Mu Ping picked up a glass of honey water and said "hmm" gently. He also walked to the window, his eyes reflecting the wind and rain outside the window, "This rain will continue."

"The rain will stop."

Everyone was startled and looked at the person standing at the counter heating milk.

Pei Yan raised his eyes and said expressionlessly: "The rain will stop soon."

The four of them all looked gloomy. They slowly stood together, staring coldly at Pei Yan who was standing alone opposite them. "Do you think you can leave us alone again?"
